Crossbow advice please - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I'm looking to pick up a crossbow for hunting with a minimum draw of 150lbs. I'll primarily use it for elk and occasionally deer. The elk come into my yard and eat everything in sight so I'd like to be able to "hunt" from my bedroom window. It'd be legal and all it's just that I don't want to waken the household with my 30-06. I've had a look on ebay and found a bunch of inexpensive ones with scopes. They seem too inexpensive and I suspect they are cheap crap. Any one have any insight into what's good and what's not?

I don't recall that it's necessarily illegal, but I think there are some heavy restrictions on it where it is legal.

Anyway, the only brand I'm familiar with is Barnnet and I don't know if they're crap or not.

Good luck and let us know what happens!
